Following the tragic scale of this year's floods in Romania's Danube region and the large number of families affected, the Consiliul Naţional al Audiovizualului (regulatory body for electronic media in Romania - CNA) granted special permission to broadcasters in a communiqué dated 18 April 2006: if they were willing to organise relief action to help those affected, they would be allowed, in reports on such action, to name those who were making donations, including the names of any goods that were offered as aid.
